The contractor is not authorized to begin performance until the contract is signed and dated below. If performance begins prior to the date below, the State of Colorado may not be obligated to pay for goods and/or services provided. State ntroller Les ' . She f• n1 Date: .2a 1 Effective: January 9, 2007 DDS - 63✓ PO#29 1000087 Weld County A. Standards of Performance The Grantee will provide a minimum of 35794 one-way passenger trip per year, at a maximum operating and administrative cost of$15.57 per one-way trip,a maximum cost of$1.95 per mile and a maximum cost of$43.79 per vehicle hour. Standards of performance will be measured, reported and averaged at least quarterly. Measurement of these standards will commence with the presentation of the Grantee's first monthly report and request for reimbursement. E. Project Description The Grantee shall perform all Project activities described on page 6 in the application submitted to the State on June 1, 2005, and as specifically described below. The application is incorporated herein by reference to the extent consistent with this Agreement. Weld County Human Services is a governmental agency and operates Weld County Transportation(WCT). WCT provides the"Minibus"transportation program, a modified demand responsive, including curb-to-curb,door-to-door when necessary,transportation service to elderly persons,persons with disabilities,and the general public.Minibus operates 5 days per week,52 weeks per year. Service days and hours vary by community,with each area receiving at least one day of service per week and two-and-a-half hours of service per service day. Most communities are served during the late morning hours with return service in the early-to-mid-afternoon. Summer months hours differ from the regular program hours because of the County's migrant daycare program. Regular routes to rural towns are built around a call-in system. Weld County Service is available to the communities of Grover, Briggsdale,Ault, Eaton,Dacono,Tri-town,Johnstown,Milliken,Ft. Lupton,Gilcrest,Platteville,Keenesberg, Hudson, Lochbuie,Windsor, Kersey, and Hill and Park. WTC requires 2 working days advanced notice for clients to schedule trips,although WTC offers flexibility to clients who need trips at other days and times than which Minibus currently operates. WTC provides medical trips to Greeley Denver,Ft. Collins,Loveland,Longmont, and Boulder. Medical trip service have been increased from only being offered on Mondays to being available 2 days per week with a"one legged trip",take or return only,being offered on a third day. WTC also provides brokerage service for transportation services with other transportation providers,both private and public. WTC works with Social Services,the Health department, clinics, doctors, and medical facilities within Weld County and the areas of destinations to coordinate the Transit system and enhance services. The State will provide 5311 funding assistance to support WCT's efforts in providing public transportation service to the rural areas of Weld County. However,WCT will be unable to meet the standards of performance proposed in the application submitted in June of 2005. Instead,WTC has committed to performing the standards of service specified under Paragraph A. of this section. This reduction is due to a loss in Federal Medicaid and Head Start contracts. However,WCT will not reduce the level of service provided to the populations not related to those programs, specifically elderly persons,persons with disabilities and the general public. F. Special Conditions of the Project 1. Because of the reductions in the Grantee's level of service in 2007 and inability to meet the proposed levels of performance specified in the application and questions about the applicability of the proposed local match,the Grantee agrees to increased review and monitoring by the State with regards to its transportation programs. Increased review and monitoring herein means the State may conduct an unspecified number of on-site visits with the Grantee to thoroughly examine all aspects of the Grantee's transportation program. These site visits will be scheduled with the Grantee's concurrence,beginning immediately after the execution of Bilateral Change Order No. 2. 2. The Grantee agrees to provide all information requested by the State with regards to the Grantee's transportation programs, including but not limited to: operations data of the Minibus program as well as the other transportation programs operated by the Grantee; sources of local revenue used to match Federal funds;the Grantee's methodology of PO#291000087 recording trips and allocating costs; the Grantee's compliance with contractual requirements and applicable federal regulations; documentation of"in-kind"match; a possible audit of the Grantee's accounting and financial records; and examination of route scheduling, dispatching capabilities,trip denials,and service areas determination. 3. The Grantee will advertise its fixed route and/or rural based service as available to the general public and service will not be explicitly limited by trip purpose or client type. 4. The Grantee will provide comparable transportation services to persons with disabilities according to the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. 5. The Grantee will comply with the Federal Transit Administration Drug and Alcohol Regulations. 6. Any costs incurred by the Grantee for which the Grantee receives reimbursement from other FTA funds (i.e., Section 5310,RTAP, 5309)may not be listed as a cost to be shared by FTA on the monthly reimbursement request. 7. The Grantee shall maintain and report annually through submission of an annual report all information required by the National Transit Database and any other financial, fleet, service data set forth by the State for the purpose of annual reporting required of the State. 8. If the Grantee is unable to perform the activities described under paragraph E.,Project Description of this section or must significantly change its level of service described herein,the Grantee shall notify the State in writing. 9. The Grantee must have State approval if FTA funds are to be used for payment of a lease or third-party contracts. 10. The Grantee shall not purchase, issue a purchase order,or lease capital equipment before the contract with the State has been executed.

Box 1805 Greeley, CO 80632-1805 n--' s Dear . . For your records, enclosed is one original copy of Bilateral Change Order No. 2,which encumbers the Section 5311 administration and/or operating funds awarded to your organization for 2007. If you have not already done so,you may begin to bill CDOT for reimbursement of expenses accrued beginning January 1,2007. Requests for reimbursement maybe made online through the CDOT Transit Program website (http://www.dot.state.co.us/App_transit/) using your usemame and password. Because of the problems identified in the previous year's billing methodology and the designation of the County as a High Risk Grantee, as outlined in Tom Mauser's letter to Walt Speckman on July 9 of this year, requests for reimbursement must be made on a monthly basis until the High Risk designation is removed. All costs included on the reimbursement request must also be based on actual net operating costs. In the County's response letter dated July26, 2007,Walt Speckman agreed to these stipulations and affirmed that costs will be tracked, segregated and reported based upon CDOT mileage. Let me clarify by saying that mileage of CWT eligible oneigay passenger trips originating in the rural area is the proper measurement to determine the costs of the public transportation service. I have spoken with Jennifer Gritsavage,the new Finance and Budget officer overseeing the accounting and billing for the Transportation Department, regarding these issues. Jennifer informed me she would begin working at once to compile the necessary information to begin submitting reimbursements for January through July. Please have her contact me if she has any questions or is need of assistance with the reimbursement forms.
